Only an instant does this world endure.
This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even grasped. ²Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. ³And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.
We seek Your holy world today. ²For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. ³But we have listened to Your Voice, and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. ⁴And we give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. ⁵We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity. (A Course in Miracles, W-300. See also ACIM Lesson 300 Insights.)
Happiness and serenity are only an instant away. They will return the instant that we are willing to let the past go. Joy and peace are ever present in the now moment. Without the wish for specialness and separation from God, we return to awareness that we live eternally in His Love, forever united in Him.
Today offers opportunities to let His Voice help us let the past go. In forgiving the past we clear the way to the eternal now of happiness, peace and Love.
